Stand-Up · Joe Dombrowski & Gaspare Randazzo

Social Studies

by Joe Dombrowski & Gaspare Randazzo

Comedians Joe Dombrowski (former elementary school teacher) and co-host Gaspare Randazzo (current high school teacher) discuss the chaotic life in and out of the classroom, the nuances of parenting toddlers, and pretty much all things millennial. Each episode is different. Sometimes they'll bring you a Hollywood guest such as comedian Anjelah Reyes-Johnson or renowned School Psychologist Dr.Jody Carrington. Sometimes they might read emails from fans, riffing on their unbelievable, real life, classroom stories. Other times they might argue over the most realistic conspiracy theories. You never know!

You guys are the best! Joe, I had the same fears…. GET THE SNOO BASSINET. The baby can’t flip over and it rocks them to sleep. So expensive but it really helped my husband and I not worry and get some sleep. So happy for you!

I’m typically not the type to write reviews on podcasts but this one I feel the need to do it. As someone who loves to laugh at life’s absurdities and is a comedian as part of my income revenue, I cannot get enough of both Joe & Gaspare. Extremely hysterical and good people. This show gets me off on the right foot every Monday with my cup of coffee in tote. Many laugh out loud moments that will stick with you long afterwards. If you’re looking for a comedy show that you will keep coming back to week after week, this is THE one. Much love and laughter always! P.S. check out The Social Studies Patreon for a lot of cool bonuses that you’ll be sure to adore!

I have listened to this podcast since Joe went Viral (this first time). Now with Gaspare the comedy duo is perfected *chefs kiss* As a long time listener and fan who has been to a show in person I feel like these two besties are my friends too. So grateful for the podcast that makes me feel like I have two buddies chatting it up, in the car, on a drive, doing paperwork. Good commentary for any setting (not so for much children).

I recently started looking for a podcast that I could just truly enjoy and have fun listening to. I stumbled upon this podcast and never looked back. I listen to you guys every day when I am getting ready for work, getting ready for bed, and plenty of times in between. I am constantly laughing at the banter and often find myself wanting to talk back to you guys. Thank you thank you thank you for just being you. Y’all are the best.
